S&W M&P45 M2.0 Compact .45 ACP Pistol, Black – 12106

I had bought the Full Size 9 mm / 5" barrel version of the M&P 2.0 a bit over 2 months ago and it made such an impression, that I could not wait to get the Compact. The ergonomics, especially the grip angle and low point of aim won me over immediately. Full disclosure: I have never been a Glock fanatic, and I really, really tried, always hoping that the next generation would be the one to win me over. Here is the thing: The M&P 2.0s didn't have to try to convert me, out of the box it was a natural match (and yes, I get that these are all subjective qualifiers) however let me go over them: 1. Did I mention the ergonomics? To me at least, this is what (as a kid) I always thought a handgun should feel like. Yes, I know I am being very abstract, but dunno how else to put it. Let me go with cliche then: It feels like an extension of your limb as it is a very natural and instinctive point of aim. 2. Grip texture. It grabs you back when you hold it. The current iteration of Glocks makes me feel like I am trying to hold on to one of those Japanese prickly foot massage flip-flops. Also the number of available back straps means that you can really dial it in to your liking. 3. The trigger. Sure, it is still a striker trigger but 'wow' I am glad that I can hold off on an after market unit, simply because out of the box this is rather nice, I imagine it will get even better after a few hundred rounds of break-in. 4. Aftermarket. For those who cannot leave well enough alone, there is a very healthy ecosystem of shops and folks out there working hard to improve on what is already a very solid platform. May not be up to the same level as the "Big G" but I feel that as the 2.0 pistols keep taking up more of the market share, the options will only increase. 5. $$$. I am not an operator, not in law enforcement or married to a multinational corporation. The S&W M&P 2.0 is very competitively priced when compared to pistols in the same class by Glock, Sig, FN, CZ and others. 6. Great for any type of carry. Concealed or duty; additionally with the two included sleeves, you can use full size 17 round mags and have a longer grip, which is never a bad thing. I guess that is it, having tried mine, my best bro decided to get into the M&P 2.0 game (unlike me he only got the Compact, that is how much more he liked over the full size if that tells you anything)

I bought this firearm s month ago and could not be more pleased. I have fired 100 rounds of ammo with no issues. Breaks down easily for cleaning. Comes with multiple sized grips to accommodate hand size.

This is a great firearm! Perfect size for both conceal and carry and target shooting. It is VERY easy to use and has less of a kick than the Glock 19 I was used to.

I like the fact that this is inline with the Glock 19, a favorite of mine. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the trigger grittiness. You can Google to see some people say it smooths out after a thousand or two rounds but the bottom line is it should be smooth as butter from day one. An aftermarket striker block replacement was easy to install and essentially solved the issue for me. With that, this firearm stands up well.

bought this gun as soon as I got my foid which took 4 months Bass Pdo shop was great getting my gun but no ammunition so I will beat an intruder with my gun

Looking forward to getting this beast out to the range and see what it can do. I love all the features so far. Great look and better feel.

Bought it a month ago and love it. Great service start to finish. If you are not a fan of the Glock grip, you will love the M&P.

Good style, usable sights, fair trigger and great ergonomics, the grip locks into your hand and points naturally. Got it, cleaned and lubed it, went to the range and ran 150 Herter’s rounds with no malfunctions. Very accurate, no sight adjustment needed. Did a $2 polish on some internal parts and the little guns trigger now feels better than most striker fired guns. I now have over 500 rounds of all kinds of ammo through it with 1 dud round, guess which ammo that was! Now on my hip in a Tolster holster.

Being a Glock guy originally, I was skeptical to try this in .40sw because I always thought it had too much recoil with less accuracy than most 9mm’s. After owning this particular gun, it changed my perspective entirely! All of the adjustments they made to help reduce recoil and keep a good short spread are very noticeable, and makes this the easiest/best .40 cal gun I’ve EVER shot! I’m actually more accurate with this piece than my G19 gen 5. Highly recommend!!

This pistol is the nearly the same size as the 9mm version in .45 ACP! Fit and finish is excellent and it has been flawless with approximately 500 rounds of brass and steel cased ammunition fired through the pistol. More than likely this will become my EDC carry pistol instead of the 9mm I currently use.

This is a great product and GrabAGun made it even better with their excellent price and superior customer service. Add it all up and it's not just the lowest price out there. It's the whole package they offer that always surpasses my expectations. Thank you GrabAGun!

Picked my M&P up and went straight to my club. Ejection issues, argh. Went home, field stripped the gun, did my usual cleaning, ballistol etc...following weekend the gun was flawless. Very nice pistol, solid feeling, with very little recoil for a .45.

I like my M&P 9 and 45 compact 2.0’s. It was between HK vp and smith 2.0 compact. I now own two M&P compacts. I don’t think you can be disappointed with what you get for the price. They are great handguns made in the U.S.A.

Always impressed with the fit and finish of M&P. And for a .45ACP the price was great. Never an issue with this gun. Shoots extremely well and very accurate. I’ve got the 9mm the .40 and now the .45 awesome handguns. I’m an FFL so shipping was extremely fast without issue from grabagun. If you’re on the fence about purchasing this gun. Buy it you won’t have any regrets.

The gun itself is great, it is the magazines. Almost impossible to get 10 rds into the mag. I have gotten 10 into 1 mag one time, otherwise always 9.

Everything I expected in a Smith & Wesson. Rock solid and dependable. Grab a Gun has had everything I have needed!

i have been doing some research on this hand gun and i want to purchase , i have reviewed a couple of complaints on the loading on a staggered cartridge ? can someone ease my comfort on this issue ?

I’ve owned my S&W M&P45 M2.0 Compact for a little over a year and a half, and absolutely love it !! A friend owned a first generation M&P and I was not impressed with trigger, grips. But after doing some research and watching reviews and was able to test fire the “New & improved m&P45 M2.0 compact”, I decided right then I had to have it. The grip and trigger improvement is as drastic as night and day- so very much better than the original. I carry concealed every day( in New York State)and am … Read More

Always had great luck with the M& P series. This one had one minor flaw with the trigger shoe. The face had a sharp molding line on it which never should have passed final inspection. This was not a big deal as I had an Apex trigger waiting to go in. This is a great shooter that now has a great trigger and I think handles better than any 1911 I have had.

Works great haven’t had any issues with it. its also very accurate. Its definitely going to be my new every day carry gun.
